The Avenue School-Special Needs Academy is a day, special
school for boys and girls from the age of 2 – 19 with complex
Special Educational Needs. It is situated close to the centre of
Reading and is the only school of this type within the borough.

The many specialist teams work
together to
provide an innovative and creative curriculum delivered through some
highly specialised techniques. The staff are trained to a high standard
and are very focused on the individual needs of pupils. We have
received many awards for our work including
the very prestigious Specialist Status for Performing Arts –
Dance, Music and Drama - an award of which we are all proud. The school
is also the first in Reading to gain The Inclusion Quality Mark and its
work in this area has been recognised as outstanding. Hard work and
enjoyment go hand in hand as you will see if you explore the pages of
our website.
